Me, live from my sofa

[louiselux]

Seeing as how I can't type much, I recorded some voice posts using my trusty (by which I mean aged) headset. emungere swears that I do not sound like a chipmunk in these... although when I played them back on my pc they played at double speed. Er, lets see what happens. They're small .wav files, via yousendit:

Frogs

My Gojyo and Hakkai standie

ps, I say 'erm' too much

Hmmm, thanks, they look interesting. I've been thinking of getting an ergonomic keyboard for a while now. did it take you long to get used to it?

So, what did you imagine I might sound like? *g*

It only took a couple of days to get used to the alpha keys, which are on the same fingers and rows. About a week for most of the numbers and punctuation because they've moved further. And I never got used to touch-typing the 5 because I use the "wrong" hand for it on a normal keyboard.

It probably wasn't so much of a shock for me since I'd been showing it to students for several years. There was a strong need to learn as I couldn't get both hands on a normal keyboard at once. And the point of honour to show that, yes, it really was a help if you had restricted movement, after assuring others of this without ever needing it myself.


Actually you sound very much as I do when I hear myself recorded. That always surprises me too.
